It was only a little over a month ago when the first rumors for a more powerful Porsche 911 GT3 RS version began and now we have what look to be the official specifications for that model. According to this image, the new 911 GT3 RS 4.0 will be priced at 179,880 euro, or about $260,000 at the current exchange rates, and will go into production at the end of May 2011. Only 500 units will be made.
Unless this is a really sick joke, Porsche will be bringing out the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 utilizing a 4.0 liter engine producing an incredible 500 HP. This engine will be mated to a six-speed manual gearbox optimized for low weight and high efficiency.
Weight is always an issue when wanting to make fast cars go faster, so Porsche made sure that was addressed with the GT3 RS 4.0. Many changes were made to the interior of the vehicle to drop weight, including the deletion of the air conditioning system and the addition of carbon fiber.
